3rd Canadian Division

An “ambitious” countrywide army reservist recruitment drive will begin next year in order to bring 1,500 fresh faces into the military family, the vast majority of whom are required to bolster numbers in 3rd Canadian Division.

The latest deployment of Edmonton-based 3rd Canadian Division soldiers will “hit the ground running” when they arrive in Poland as part of Canada’s ongoing commitment to NATO missions in Eastern Europe.

Edmonton soldiers will be spending more time in Eastern Europe in 2017, with western Canadian forces on high readiness into the new year, says the commander of 3rd Canadian Division and Joint Task Force West.
